Okay, look, I don't want to turn this thread into a slam-fest. There are two principals here that NO ONE can argue against:

1. The best results possible with a dog are always when you do your BEST for that dog and bring him in his BEST state of health;
2. This GD database will run its BEST, and be its MOST USEFUL to you (and to everybody else) IF YOU READ AND FOLLOW THE GD DIRECTIONS

Period.
